Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
Mar 2013 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
The days are stretching out, its slowly warming up and the fish are moving. We are now looking for the spring run of Cod this area is famous for. The fish move inshore to feed on the crab, whiting and small squid that are moving into our waters, so there is plenty of feed to attract the fish.
The Skate have now laid their purses so will be hungry and feeding, with herring always a favourite bait for these superb fish. The males are smaller but very fiesty while the females go to 15lb so great sport on light tackle. Still some Bass around inshore and the large shoals will soon be running from The English Channel around into The Thames Estuary. They run close to shore around the South Foreland and up the Gull stream, not easy to catch as they are more intent on traveling than eating but a juicy lugworm or fish strip can sometimes tempt them. Smoothounds will be looking for the crabs with peeler or soft crab being the bait of choice, again great sport on light tackle. 12/20lb class rods with 7000 size reels make an ideal set up for all our fishing, light enough to allow the fish to perform, but powerful enough to land a big Skate
We will be shortly begin offshore wreck fishing, looking for Cod, Pollack and Bass, drift fishing the wrecks with shads, jelly worms and hokkies. pick a small tide with good weather and enjoy the day.
Duke IV will be back fishing Saturday 23rd following a couple of weeks out for maintanance including antifouling a few repairs and a good clean up. All this to keep us number one in getting you out fishing as quickly and safely as possible!
To attract the small groups who like the boat to themselves we are currently offering a great deal. Book Duke IV exclusively for your group for a days fishing from just £180 or still just £40 for individuals bottom fishing. Contact me for your trip and we will sort the best deal for you! Tight lines. Bob

Fishing Report by Terry Lee
on Seabreez3 (Brighton, East Sussex)

Report on-board Seabreez3
Daiwa 2013 Brighton Pollock Competition
Brighton Pollock competition was won by Connor Bonwick with a superb Pollock of 17lb 9oz.Caught on Board Seabreeze3,And the junior prize was won by Michael Parker with a Pollock of 10lb 9oz
The 17lb 9oz Pollock was caught on a small wreck twenty four miles off Brighton on Seabreeze3.
Connor was fishing alongside his Dad, Darren. When Connor first hooked into this superb fish he thought it was the wreck, and then when he realized it wasn’t the wreck, the battle began. After five minutes of playing the fish it finally broke the surface. We all knew on board that this was going to be a big fish but didn’t realize it was going to be an 18lb fish.
When the fish was first weighed on board, it weighed in at just over18lb but by the time it got weighed in at the harbor it had lost a little weight.
Connor was absolutely thrilled to receive £22 from the anglers on board who all put in £2 each for the heaviest fish. He then received £300 to spend on Daiwa fishing tackle and also a free day’s fishing trip on Seabreeze3. Needless to say Connor was a very happy young man!
I would like to say a big thank you to all the other guys that took part in the competition and also thank you to Paul Dyer on Brighton Diver for organizing the competition who raised over £1000 for the RNLI. Well done.
If anyone would like a day’s fishing on Seabreeze3 then please give me a call on the number below.

Fishing Report by Dave Elliott
on Ocean Warrior 3 (Brighton, East Sussex)
Mar 2013 by Dave Elliott
Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
We have managed to get some good fishing in this week. We went out to the deep water wrecks looking for those big Pollock. There was plenty of tide to make them feed and we are still finding them very high in the water on the fast retrieve on the gill, 40 to 50 turns up.
Neil did the best with 11 big Pollock to 15lb 12oz, along with Rich who had Pollock to 14lb 8oz. It was a very enjoyable day with plenty of Pollock for everyone to take home and a great days Pollock fishing.
We are looking forward to getting back out there for some bigger ones this week. If you fancy a crack at it give Dave a call on 07966 377145 as we still have some spaces available and the weather is looking good. View Boats Page

Report on-board Sea Otter 2
I Had ian colemans party onboard today from grimsby.
A first time at whitby and the lad said they had had a dissapointing winter on the cod at grimsby,
They said they would be happy with just hand full of fish between the 5 of them ian had chartered the boat so the lads had plenty of room his wish for cod didint take long.
It was only just a few minuites after casting out that one of the rods was over bloody hell i cant believe it ian said the cod dont waste much time here .
The lads ended up having a really nice day the uptiding for cod at whitby keeps going due to the late winter storms and will continue into april if this weather continues.
Ian for grismby with just one of fish caught 300mtrs from the cliff back. View Boats Page

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
After a long cold spell the fishing is starting to come alive, the Pollack have appeared on the wrecks in good size and numbers but most of our time has been either Ray fishing on the smaller tides or Turbot fishing we have landed good fish up to 20lb so far and although several small ones have been put back for another day the numbers have been good, due to popular request I will be doing more mid week trips in March, if your up for Pollack, Rays or Turbot please call.
